The sense of strong nationalism is very evident and that's good, but don't you think "Nang Mamatay Nang Dahil Sa 'Yo." is way too morbid to be used as Manny's 'slogan'?

The impression is that Manny is facing great odds in his coming fight and, literally, he will be fighting for his life.

Why not request any of the Mods to lock your thread?

Believe me, I was waiting for that to happen from their end but now I can be at peace. Because did you notice something? That ominous, dark,and brooding ad is no longer to be seen in the recent posts. The gods of the Mods must have taken notice of my ravings & rantings, somehow found some good sense in them that made them to decide to finally do away with that offensive ad.

With the words "Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" and his pics all over the metro. Its like a massive posting of his obituary. Its like his tombstone was written all over the metro. There is no sense of nationalism in it because of the images used. They used MP and Nike logos after the words "Ang mamatay ng dahil sayo" . So who is he fighting for? himself? Nike? Heck, Emilio Aguinaldo at least brought along the National Flag when he sang the anthem in Cavite!

I like him better wearing the No Fear brand. It instills fear in his opponents, the moment he marches in with the No Fear bandana on his forehead, it sends chills to his opponents.

The correct line in our national anthem says "Ang mamatay ng dahil sa'yo". "Nang mamatay..." is grammatically incorrect unless it means that Pacman died for our country, God forbids.

Whoever is the creative artist behind this concept should be terminated from his job. Does the tag line sounds boxing to you? Not a bit. The Nike logo looks like a [size=150]cult's emblem[/size].

On the subject of cults and emblems there is one website I would like for those with curious minds to investigate. I just sort of stumbled into it. I learned something from there that caused me to raise hell when I saw a similarity of Nike's ad on Manny. Nothing to do with boxing but, definitely, more interesting and covers not only about simple symbols and cults but sinister plans for world domination. It is http://www.infowars.com

Yes! No Fear, is still better than the Nike gimmick.

The way it's shown on the NIKE commercial is really morbid "Ang mamatay nang dahil sa yo." Without the rest of the lyrics it sounds like funeral. Who's idea is it?. And the way it was sung funeral man, funeral.

Bro, this particular issue re Manny's battle line as designed and conceptualized by NIKE has been reviewed and approved by Manny himself. The first time it came here at Pacland, every Paclanders says it is fantastic and now some of you are questioning it.

If Manny himself approved that line, then who are we to question it?

Good point. But when money is involved, lots of it, sometimes good judgment takes a backseat. Even Manny himself wouldn't have known the serious implications of that ominious ad. His advisers wouldn't have known any better also.

Bro, if you are a Filipino you should know this. Oh what a pity tsk, tsk, tsk...

Kidlat-Kamao is that you... Malem50 have the same line of thinking with the former. What a pity ... tsk tsk tsk....

You did'nt even bothered to answer my post and now you're asking me another question. Wag ka ng magtaka if you'll receive this kind of reply. Review the thread and see how many times you've recieved this kind of reply. Katangahan naman kasi talaga yang post mo at hindi nakakatawa. I dont have second handle. Malem50 is also an old timer here. Next time if you're reply is meant to be a joke put a smiley. It helps, bigtime!!!! Trust me.

The "death-wish" Nike slogan is back. What can I say, except, "Money doesn't talk, it shouts!"

Of all the national anthems of the world, only the Philippines has that kind of "makabagbagdamdamin" ending especially when it is sung with feelings. It is heart-wrenching. Morbid? Maybe not at all. Just being uniquely Filipino.

Yes, like a dirge. Or a send-off lamentation to someone who is about to meet certain death. Nationalism? Sense of the macabre is more like it.
